Mantle of giant clam with light-sensitive spots, which detect danger and cause the clam to close. Tridacna gigas, the giant clam, is the best-known species of the giant clam genus Tridacna. Giant clams are the largest living bivalve molluscs. Several other species of "giant clam" in the genus Tridacna are often misidentified as Tridacna gigas.
An hour later the fuse was lit so to speak. Nay, a hundred fuses were lit. The men were playing softball. the women were trading pie recipes. the kids were swimming in the pond.

Fai D. Flowright (Japanese: ファイ・D・フローライト, Hepburn: Fai D. Furōraito, also known as Fai D. Flourite in the Japanese version [1]), born Yūi (ユゥイ), [2] is a fictional character introduced Clamp's manga series Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.
A flying fish fuse (bumblebee) is an unusual type of component for fireworks. It is made like Visco fuse, but contains a metallic spark composition or other effect instead of black powder. Flying fish can thus perform as a main effect instead of just an initiator.
Fuse elements may be supported by steel or nichrome wires, so that no strain is placed on the element, but a spring may be included to increase the speed of parting of the element fragments. The fuse element may be surrounded by air, or by materials intended to speed the quenching of the arc. Silica sand or non-conducting liquids may be used.
Action potentials travel faster in an axon with a large diameter than a smaller one, [5] and squid have evolved the giant axon to improve the speed of their escape response. The increased radius of the squid axon decreases the internal resistance of the axon, as resistance is inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of the object.
Some lines of investigation are focused on the application of D. radiodurans antioxidant systems in human cells to prevent ROS damaging and the study of the development of resistance to radiation in tumoral cells. [35] A nanotechnological application of D. radiodurans in the synthesis of silver [36] and gold [37] nanoparticles has also been ...
